In terms of playing the game, Blizzard has confirmed that Diablo 4 will have cross-play, meaning those playing on PC can join games with their friends on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series, and Xbox One.[7] In addition, the Barbarian class is a powerhouse in the game, offering players the ability to equip a selection of weapons that provide distinct bonuses to their character.[8]
This weekend, Blizzard acknowledged the prolonged wait times experienced by gamers attempting to access the Diablo 4 beta.[9] They have additionally confirmed that an issue is affecting the developer's authentication servers, which is resulting in failed or slow login attempts for some players.[10]
